When I lived in Turkey, my outside environment was an unflagging resource for beauty and curiosity and "meaning." Going outside and wandering around with my camera was this immediate, positive way of exiting emptiness, depression, boredom and it cost no money and contained no calories and brought on no hangovers and involved no messy direct human contact.
This is not an accurate representation of what Turkey really looks like -- not what Istanbul looks like -- I have the voyeur's eye and am leaving out all the shopping malls, bars, museums, sky-scrapers, mini-skirts -- I just wanted to have these here because I miss being able to walk outside and walk outside myself.
As any Istanbullu or visitor will tell you, the landscape of that city is all about unexpected juxtapositions. Also, I love signs.
